Secrets of the Dead
[#902H]
Airmen and the HeadhuntersThis episode investigates the survival story of a crew of airmen shot down over the jungles of Japanese occupied Borneo during Word War II. A US bomber crew, stranded in a snake infested jungle, was rescued by Dayak tribesmen -- a tribe known for taking the heads of their enemies. The Dayaks fed and protected the airmen before leading them to the base of the maverick British special ops officer, Major Tom Harrisson, who was fighting a guerrilla war against the Japanese with a band of Australian Commandoes. In what is the most unlikely survival story of World War II, the Airmen's hopes of escape were left in the hands of the eccentric Major Harrisson who orchestrated their rescue by building a bamboo runway deep in the Borneo interior.duration 54:16

Washington Week
[#5231H]
* A mixed bag of economic data has many people scratching their heads about the strength of the economic recovery. US stocks are hovering near all-time highs and the housing market has begun to bounce back. But while unemployment is down slightly, it remains close to 8%. And this week we learned the US economy actually shrank in the final quarter of 2012. Are these new numbers a sign of a temporary slowdown in the economic recovery or something else? We'll get answers and analysis from David Wessel of The Wall Street Journal.* President Obama says he expects his sweeping immigration reform to be passed by Congress "within 6 months." Earlier this week 8 senators announced a bipartisan plan for comprehensive immigration reform. Does the push by the president and bipartisan lawmakers, including prominent Republicans signal a new era and openness for immigration reform? And how different are things now than in 2007 when President George W. Bush made a failed push for reform? Karen Tumulty of The Washington Post and Fawn Johnson of National Journal will report on the renewed effort for an immigration overhaul. * Defense Secretary nominee Chuck Hagel was pressed on a range of issues from Israel and Iran to gays in the military during his contentious confirmation hearing on Thursday. The former two-term Republican senator from Nebraska took some of the toughest questions from Senate Republicans including Sen. John McCain who challenged Hagel over whether the surge during the Iraq war was worthwhile. Doyle McManus of the Los Angeles Times will have a complete report on Hagel's testimony and his defense of his record as he soon hopes to head up the Pentagon.duration 26:46

Environmental Crises in the Garden of EdenIRAQ: THE CRADLE OF CIVILIZATION - The West sees Iraq as a country in chaos, devastated by war. But there's another side to it. It's home to vast wetlands - believed to be the original Garden of Eden - drained and turned into desert by Saddam Hussein. Efforts to restore them began in 2003. But the wetlands are now once again threatened, this time by a major Turkish dam project on the upper reaches of the rivers Tigris and Euphrates. Locals fear for their livelihoods and environmental activists are concerned that a unique ecosystem will be irreversibly destroyed. DC CLIMATE WARRIORS - In recent years, more than three dozen climate change pressure groups have been set up in the US. Their aim: To convince Americans that climate change is a fiction. But others in America warn of the pernicious influence of lobbyists on Congress. For climate activists, big polluters are shaping Washington's decisions. YOUNG GLOBAL LEADERS: LATIN AMERICA: CHRISTINA K. LOPES - For decades, Latin America was plagued by dictatorships, poverty and violence. But things there have changed of late. DW has caught up with one of our six Young Global Leaders in Latin America. The leaders are those we think will shape the world of tomorrow - in the fields of business, politics, science and sports. Christina K. Lopes is from Brazil, a country whose booming economy has inspired all of Latin America. We talked to the investment fund manager about Brazil's economic prowess, leadership in Latin America and women's rights. CLEANER VIETNAM: BIOGAS FROM CASSAVA - Vietnam is one of the 10 biggest producers of cassava in the world. Its manufacture involves generating large quantities of wastewater. The starch in the latter ferments and creates methane - a highly toxic climate killer. The Daklak Tapioca Factory in central Vietnam is now collecting the gas as an energy source and using it to operate the facility. The process helps reduce coal consumption, thereby cutting greenhouse gas emissions.duration 26:00

[#204H]
Are Drones Destroying Our Democracy?* In the fight against terrorism, the American military's escalating drone program has become the face of our foreign policy in Pakistan, Yemen and parts of Africa. And while the use of un-manned drones indeed protects American soldiers, the growing number of casualties - which include civilians as well as suspected terrorists - has prompted a UN investigation into both the legality and the deadly toll of these strikes. This week, Bill explores the moral and legal implications of using drones to target our enemies, both foreign and American. His guests include: Vicki Divoll, a former general counsel to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and former deputy legal adviser to the C.I.A.'s Counterterrorism Center; and Vincent Warren, Executive Director of the Center for Constitutional Rights. < br />* Also on the show, Rolling Stone's Matt Taibbi on the continuing lack of accountability for America's big bankers.duration 56:46

Globe Trekker
[#1120]
Papua New GuineaThe trekkers explore New Britain Island, the largest in the Bismarck Archipelago of Papua New Guinea. Inhabited by the indigenous Papuans and the Austronesians, the island was captured by the Japanese during World War II. Today the island's traditional cultures are diverse and complex but there are several ancient traditions which remain active today, especially the Dukduk Secret Society. Next, we visit the township of Rabaul, once the provincial capital until it was destroyed in 1994 by a massive volcanic eruption. Rabaul is still a superb location for scuba diving, snorkeling and wreck dives. We travel onwards to the stunningly beautiful island of Bougainville, named after a French navigator, and an excellent location for wreck-diving and sea kayaking.duration 56:31

[#3006]
Attenborough's Life Stories: Understanding the Natural WorldIn honor of Sir David Attenborough's 60th anniversary on television, this three-part miniseries focuses on three fields that David Attenborough feels have been transformed most profoundly: filmmaking, science and the environment. Richly illustrated with the sequences (re-mastered in HD) that Attenborough has spent 60 years capturing, new interviews in which he revisits the content, stories and locations that were featured in his landmark series, and packed with the personal anecdotes of the BBC's most accomplished raconteur, "Attenborough's Life Stories" is a singular synopsis of a unique half-century plus. In "Understanding the Natural World," Sir David Attenborough shares his memories of the scientists and the breakthroughs that helped shape his own career. He also recalls some of his more hair-raising attempts to bring new science to a television audience: standing in the shadow of an erupting volcano as lumps of hot lava crashed around him or being charged by a group of armed New Guinean tribesmen.duration 56:46

Negotiations stretched out for weeks, but Charlie never returned. His body was discovered not five miles from Hopewell. Now, Nova is reopening one of the most confounding crime mysteries of all time as a team of expert investigators employs state-of-the-art forensic and behavioral science techniques in an effort to determine what really happened to Lindbergh's baby - and why.duration 56:46

Life On Fire
[#105H]
Ash RunnersAround the Masaya Volcano in Nicaragua, life has struggled for thousands of years to re-emerge from the ashes. Underground, vampire and other bat species have colonized the miles of tunnels created by hot flowing magma. In the crater, parakeets and vultures have made nests on cliffs exposed to toxic gases. On the flanks of this still active mountain, the vegetation has been burnt away by lava flows leaving barren stretches that are recolonized over hundreds of years. At the foot of the volcano, fields, pastures and towns have grown over the oldest lava flows. In this harsh environment, nature struggles to conquer ash and lava before the next eruption erases its efforts ... and the phoenix must rise again.duration 55:46
